The Enforcement Directorate, which has been probing the money laundering aspect of the multi-crore Saradha ponzi scheme, on Wednesday interrogated suspended Trinamool Congress leader Kunal Ghosh for the second time.
Mr. Ghosh, who visited the agency’s office here at the CGO Complex, was questioned for nearly two hours.
ED sources said that Mr. Ghosh had allegedly received funds from the Saradha group to head its media unit.
“We are probing the flow of funds which Mr. Ghosh had allegedly received from the Saradha group and also the money laundering angle,” sources said.
Mr. Ghosh was earlier interrogated by the agency in connection with the case in October 2013.
The Saradha group owned the dailies Bengal Post and Sakalbela , which had ceased publication after the scam broke out in April 2013. Mr. Ghosh was initially arrested by a SIT of the Bidhannagar Police Commissionerate in November 2013 in connection with the case and later the Central Bureau of Investigation took over the investigation on the Supreme Court orders. He was granted interim bail in 2016.
